Special Education
The special education program at Saint Martin's provides graduates with the education and training to work in settings such as an inclusionary classroom, a resource room, or a self-contained special education class. Completion of required courses for the teaching major will lead to an institutional recommendation that the student be endorsed in special education by the state of Washington.
